Description:
Abstract: Final approved map by the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission for the California State Senate; the authoritative and official delineations of the California State Senate drawn during the 2020 redistricting cycle. The Citizens Redistricting Commission for the State of California has created statewide district maps for the State Assembly, State Senate, State Board of Equalization, and United States Congress in accordance, with the provisions of Article XXI of the California Constitution. The Commission has approved the final maps and certified them to the Secretary of State.Line drawing criteria included population equality as required by the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Voting Rights Act, geographic contiguity, geographic integrity, geographic compactness, and nesting. Geography was defined by U.S. Census Block geometry.Each of the 40 Senate districts has an ideal population of nearly one million people and represents the largest state legislative districts in the nation. In consideration of population equality, the Commission chose to limit the population deviation as close to zero percent as practicable. Per the California Constitution, the Commission strived to nest two Assembly districts where practicable. However, higher ranking criteria made this difficult in practice. While the size of the Senate districts allowed the Commission to recognize broadly shared interests, these interests did not always overlap exactly with the interests of smaller communities recognized in the related Assembly districts. Based on the large number of people in each district, there were a variety of different interests that were balanced and included.
Purpose: Final approved map by the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission for the California State Senate.
